Description:Caroll Grant Loomis was born and raised on the Central Coast Range of Oregon. Her playground consisted of swamps, streams, hills and forests. It was only natural that she would become a basket weaver. When she was in her teens, she lived in Northern California and learned to make twined baskets of willow roots and sticks from a Yurok basket weaver and later matered coiling and beadwork.
She took drawing and water color classes from Bill Kucka, Joyce Gaffin and Bet Borgenson. Today she resides at her home of thirty years next to a small salmon spawing stream between the Siletz and Yaquina rivers. She has incorporated gourds into her work as a canvas for her paintings. Caroll's work is found at many festivals around the state as well as in many private collections all over the world. She is a member of the Osage Nation, and her work often reflects her heritage.
Caroll offeres basket weaving workshops, gourd and beading workshops as well as private lessons. Her studio is located beside her home under a canopy of rick, lush forest just off Highway 20 at milepost 5, Sams Creek Road, first driveway on the left. Please call for an appointment.
